I disagree, a hollow victory is just that. On top of it then they own it and they get the blame for it.
I hear you and trust me, I’m no shill for Trump (just look at my last two postings...which were WARNINGS to him), but I cannot help but think about the FIELD DAY the media will have if effort is defeated by REPUBLICANS...especially versus the benefit to us if Trump actually ‘wins’.
As far as the end-result, we clean it up later. I don’t think anything more than what’s in the bill now can get through reconciliation (although I may be wrong).
As for ownership, Trump already took that mantle when he told the IRS to pretty much accept any excuse for not signing up...something the media will NEVER let him live down, once Obamacare implodes.
